Homes Not Bombs Fiesta: Saturday March 8


Oye gente! Come invest some of your hard earned feria over at the HOMES NOT BOMBS fiesta benefiting the marvelous work of SF Community Land Trust and Direct Action to Stop the War. As part of the half dozen great performances, The Brass Liberation Orchestra (hands down the peoples champion street band) will be flexing skills and catching wreck on them mean tubas and trumpets (ask 'em to play a lil' cumbia). Yer man dj Lucha Grande will be throwin' down some global cumbiazos to get you moving and grooving. What's a movement without some movimiento!

Salsa Music + Van Halen = PURO FRESH!



Van Halen reminds me of catholic school beatdowns by nuns, salesian brothers, and crazy-ass white boys in souped up Monte Carlos. But back in the day it was common for Excelsior heads of all stripes to rock a sideways cap listening to Rappin 4-Tay or EPMD while wildn' out on some mean air guitar ala Metallica or Death Angel. Word to my Pinoy metaleros!

Found this wild-ass salsa re-edit of Van Halen's Running w/ the Devil by Big Mono on outside broadcast. Puro fresh? Yes indeed.
